She played the fiddle in an Irish band, but she fell in love with an English man

 Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand, said, "Baby, I just want to dance"

I met her on Grafton street right outside of the bar

Said it was one of my friend's songs do you want to drink on?

She got Arthur on the table, with Johnny riding as shot gun

    Chatted some more, one more drink at the bar
        |E                                            |
Then put Van on the jukebox, got up to dance, you know

As last orders were called, was when she stood on the stool
     |E                                        |
After dancing to Cèilidh, singing to trad tunes

And in this packed out room, swear she was singing to me, you know

     |E                      2nD                    |
I was   holding her hand, her hand was holding mine
   |F#m                2nA                     |
Our coats both smell of smoke, whisky and wine
     |E                                               |
As we fill up our lungs with the cold air of the night
